Works In Progress

:: Patchwork of wool, and a smidge of linen (sneak peek of my linens for 04/13)
:: Hand-quilting a baby quilt of Field Study Voiles (shipping any day now)
:: Drawer of crochet sunshines getting full but not full enough (pattern my own rendering)
:: My first EVER knitting project!!! Watched this class with Debbie Stoller and it all finally clicked (then clacked, then knitted, then purled and so on)
:: My growing yarn bowl was in need of some new color (mostly merinos from Manos del Uruguay)
:: The sidewalk is getting crunchier every day (the bright hues giving way to some more somber tones)
:: Our family room mantle awaits the arrival of (hopefully) another pinch pot turkey next week

hahhaha, oh love me, please love me. I do plan on splainin myself some more on the knitting here soon. It has completed eluded me for years until I saw a visual lace pattern, and it somehow made a lot more sense to me than all of the written patterns that I have tried to do (for about 5 seconds). I am a visual learner, and watching a video helped me immensely!xoxo

Everything is beautiful, AM! I'm curious, though. Is the linen your second linen release or is the stuff that's due in January being pushed back to April? I'm so excited to get my hands on the new voiles and rayon.

Hold on. That? That gorgeous piece of loveliness is your "first" knit project?(in my most melodramatic-back of the hand to my forehead voice...) Life is unfair!This post is full of beauty. I am happy, at least we get to enjoy seeing what you make, Anna Maria... your art is a real treat for the senses.

I'm totally impressed by your knitting project. I started learning how to knit last year, after giving up on the idea years ago. I can relate to being a visual learner and have also found a few video tutorials that just seem to add such clarity to the process. I'll check out the link you provided. Thanks for sharing!

Love these type of posts. My corner in the living room is just full of various crafty projects strewn all over the place, good to know that I'm not the only one that does several things at the same time :)
